    Back in 85' 0r 86', I was in High School and went to see Def Leppard in concert. The opening band was Tesla. None of us had ever heard of them. It was right at the time their debut album came out and they were still unknowns. They blew the roof off! They were equal to Def Leppard in music and entertainment. I went out the very next day and bought their album.

Actually, I can listen to all of their first 3 albums from beginning to end. All of those songs are amazing. Def Leppard and Tesla are very good friends and they often tour together.

"Bust a nut" has some awesome songs and I think cover to cover it is my favorite album. I would love to hear/see you react to Shine away, Try so hard or A lot to lose.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this! Tesla has been my favorite band and Jeff Keith has been my favorite vocalist for many many years! They have amazing energy live as well, and they are some of the most pleasant people you could ever meet. I definitely recommend listening to more!

    FYI, the parts of a basic drum "kit" are, as you said, a snare drum, three thumpier drums called "tom-toms" or just "toms" (high, medium and floor), and the biggest (and lowest, on the floor) the bass drum, played with a foot pedal. Plus, of course, cymbals (usually ride, crash, and high-hats). Of course, drum kits can vary widely, from a simple cymbal + snare setup like Slim Jim Phantom in Stray Cats to Neil Peart's kit in Rush, where he was literally surrounded by drums!

    I met Tesla when they were touring with Def Leppard on their Hysteria tour. When their set was done they came out into the crowd and just stood against the arena wall. We were talking for about five minutes before all the women charged them and they had to bail over the stage fencing. The most down to earth guys you would ever meet.

      I met them once after a show and you are so right. Frank Hannon would've kept talking to us but their manager was anxious to get them out if there and back on the road to their next show. And they're one of a few bands that are as good live as they are on their albums.

    Tesla debuted in 1986 with the album "Mechanical Resonance." It was one of the most influential hard rock albums of the 80s. Lots of good songs on it. Tesla had their own sound. The vocalist was a truck driver when he wasn't doing the band thing.

      They were one of the few bands at the time, especially hair bands, to feature acoustic guitars prominently. And you simply did not hear acoustic guitars on the radio in 1986 until Tesla came along.

    WOW.....you picked one of very favorite bands for the past 30 years....I have seen them at least a dozen times. Troy Luccketta is in my top five favorite drummers of ALL time! He is a MONSTER. He is very into the sound of his drums, and how they look. Changes his set up every tour. He plays amazing little things that drummers pick up. Frank Hannon is an amazing and VERY underrated guitarist. Not only very fast and very creative...but he gets great sounds out his guitars. The whole band are amazing musicians. 'J' is right, the band is named after the famed inventor Nikola Tesla...who was ripped of by Edison. Check out the song "Edisons' Medicine."

    When you're done checking the studio cuts it SO worth sitting down one day and listening to their "5 Man Acoustical Jam" album straight through. This song hit a second time with that album and the guitar in it is amazing. As soon as my hands began allowing me to at around 15 years old I was learning how to play this, it's a top-tenner for me. Think I'll have to go back and learn the hard parts of that one now, 28 years later I might be able lmao

    Huge Tesla fan, and this is absolutely my favorite power ballad. Also a huge Black Crowes fan and I’ve always likened Tesla to The Black Crowes for some reason. Tesla leaning more toward a hard rock sound obviously. I think they unfairly got lumped in with 80s hair metal and didn’t get a lot of recognition. Check out “Little Suzi”, “Changes”, “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)”, “The Way It Is” and “What You Give”.
